Comments from Previous Attendees:     This program should be required by all lawyers. You can be the smartest lawyer in Texas, but if you can’t communicate with the jury, your client loses. This seminar is a unique opportunity that will improve your ability to help your clients in and outside courtroom. John Ackerman did an excellent job last year of putting together a team and hands on seminar that changed the lives of many that attended. It is difficult to put into words, but the evaluations received after this seminar last year were the highest marks I’ve ever seen at a TCDLA seminar. (It) has changed the way I practice law & the way I live my life. I was energized after last year’s seminar. It was great and the students were totally into it. Your potential as a trial lawyer is only as far away as the distance between your head and your heart. This is the best course I have taken by far. The instructors were top notch; you cannot get education of this quality outside of the Ranch. Nothing will make you a better lawyer than understanding yourself and your jurors.
